Returned Check Policy

There is a $50.00 fee on all returned checks.

In the event that a check has been returned, the issuer will be notified and informed that they have 10 days to make *restitution, including any related fees to prevent any further collection activity. Once the university is informed of a returned check, a hold will be placed on the individual’s account. A personal check will not be accepted as repayment for a returned check.

*(Restitution must be made in the form of cash, certified/cashier’s check, or money order.)

Hold Procedures

Registration Hold: this hold will not allow students to register for classes and add or drop class(es).

Students can check HOLD information by accessing their account online using the KSU WIRED.
